How to lose weight fast in 2 weeks without exercise

The best way to lose weight in a short time is to shock the metabolism but not upset the metabolism. It can take around 4-10 days for the metabolism to adjust to a new way of eating. After this it will ultimately start to compensate and slow weight and fat loss down.

With the approach outlined in this article you can safely follow it for up to two weeks. If you want to continue with weight loss beyond the two weeks consider adding some appropriate exercise in to maintain lean muscle and cycle calorie and carbohydrate intake to keep the metabolism guessing.

So how do you lose weight fast in 2 weeks without exercise! Well it might come as no surprise when I tell you that you will need to create a calorie deficit. This much is obvious.

Most people believe that eating less and exercising more is the best way to lose weight.

Whilst this can work for a short time it can be difficult and exhausting to maintain and at times to fit in the exercise necessary to create the deficit isn’t possible.

The trick is to create a big enough deficit to elicit weight loss but without eating less food.

So with that in mind, we have put together this article to show you how tolose weight fast in 2 weeks without exercise.

You will need to create a calorie deficit WITHOUT negatively disturbing metabolic hormones. In other words, if we simply just create a huge deficit without balancing the metabolism you will have a pretty miserable two weeks and VERY quickly regain any fat lost after.

Simply reducing the calories and food without any regard to how the metabolism will compensate will turn you into a fat STORING Machine and you will gain any painful losses back in half the time it took to lose it. And possibly more besides!

Aim for the following scenario:

Balanced hormones + calorie deficit = fat burning

Avoid the following scenario:

Calorie deficit – balanced hormones = metabolic mayhem

Step 1: Focus all your foods on protein and fibre.

Protein and fibre are the most satiating foods. And with the right choices you can feel full on very few calories.

The menu swap example below demonstrates how you can eat more of the right foods to stabilise the metabolism despite eating less calories. Leaving you satisfied and feeling full and with no excessive hunger or cravings later.

These can easily add up during the day and don’t add to satiety in any way. Stick to green or herbal teas for example and plenty of water.

Step 3: Avoid starchy carbohydrate such as beige carbs as these are worst for causing bloat and for blunting fat loss.

These include pasta, bread, rice, pastry, crisps, ice cream and most processed foods. As well as avoiding all white and beige processed foods, avoid all starchy carbohydrates such as potato and rice to help balance fat burning metabolism.

Protein is the single most satiating nutrient and takes the most amount of energy to digest. Fibrous colourful vegetables are low in sugars and calories and will keep you fuller for much longer with few calories and little impact on fat storing hormones.

Chose fats wisely as these are much higher in calories but a small amount can help manage hunger and satisfaction levels.

For example: Use egg whites in place of the whole egg to help keep the calories low but protein high. Choose white fish, lean means such as chicken and turkey and selecting leaner cuts of red meats. Whey powders to add more protein to meals.

Research has shown that those that eat slowly will eat less food due to their satiety signals getting the ‘full’ message in time to stop eating. Aim to eat to 80% fullness. Using smaller plates has a psychological effect of making the plate look full and there is plenty of food.

Eating without distraction such as watching TV has also we are less likely to overeat too.

Step 6: Use lots of vinegar.

Vinegar has a satiating effect and can help reduce the body’s insulin response to carbohydrates therefore reducing the fat storing effects.

Step 7: Create lots of heat in your dishes by using fresh spices.

Research has shown that some plant chemicals can temporarily raise the metabolism by 8% and therefore help you burn fat better. It is also said to make you feel fuller so therefore eat less overall.

Step 8: NON-EXERCISE ACTIVITY THERMOGENESIS = NEAT and otherwise known as fidgeting and generally moving around as much as possible.

This is perhaps one of the most forgotten hidden secrets of the naturally lean! This can account for up to 50% of daily energy expenditure and could equate to an extra 500 calories extra burned in a day!
